In threads where Michiganders listed what they miss, Vernors and coney dogs came up most, followed by Faygo, Better Made, Sanders and Michigan cherries. A coney won't ship, so we send the sauce and the recipe. They add the dog, the bun, the mustard and an onion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWho it's for\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnyone who grew up in Michigan and lives somewhere else: a kid at college, a sister in Phoenix, a friend who still says pop. It also works as a housewarming or thank-you gift for someone in Michigan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eShipping\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrders ship within 2 business days. US ground is $9.95 and free on orders over $97. Order by Friday, December 11 for Christmas by ground. This box ships to US addresses only, because Canada doesn't allow meat products like coney sauce by mail. For a Canadian address, send The Michigan Box or The 313 Box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eQuestions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat do people from Michigan miss most?\u003c\/strong\u003e In the threads we read, Vernors and coney dogs led the list. Faygo, Better Made chips, Sanders hot fudge, cider mills, pasties and Great Lakes fish all came up often.
